Summary
Ambrosius shook his head, undaunted by Ballister's skepticism. “It'll be hoodie weather soon!”
He should have guessed that that was what all this was about. While occasionally Ambrosius seemed to genuinely enjoy dressing up in fancy clothes, the man lived in athleisure a good chunk of the time. Even more so now that he rarely wore his armor. And his hoodie collection had always been unparalleled — he could probably go at least a few weeks without repeating one.
Ballister shrugged. “I’d give it at least another month.”
This was apparently enough to rouse Nimona-the-lizard, who'd been sunning on the windowsill. “Seven weeks and” — she flicked out her tongue — “three days.”

Summary
The days were getting shorter, the nights were getting longer, the leaves were beginning to turn, and a family of wyverns was causing problems a half-day's ride from the City. Normally, this would be a job for a couple of full knights from the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics, but this time, the Director chose two squires. Even though they technically were going to be knighted at Midwinter — just a few scant months away — this was still considered an honor.
Unfortunately, this was an honor that came with missing the Harvest Festival.
Ambrosius grumbled about it as they ate breakfast in the mess hall, he grumbled about it as they packed their gear and put on armor, and he grumbled about it as they rode through the city gates.
